Which Way Is the Frontline from Here?
Movie · Documentary · War & Military

Shortly after the release of his Academy Award-nominated documentary Restrepo in 2011, photojournalist and filmmaker Tim Hetherington was killed by a mortar strike while covering the Libyan conflict. Director Sebastian Junger, along with family, friends and colleagues, remember Tim’s exceptional talents in this touching tribute to a man who lived his job. An inquisitive world traveler, Tim chose photography as his mode of communication and made a career of documenting war and the young men who make it. Whether immersed in Liberia during the rebel uprising, embedded with American troops in Afghanistan or on the frontlines in Libya, he was always searching for a quieter reflection on conflict. His work was about human nature, what war does to people, and the intimacy, community and humanity behind the action. Which Way Is the Front Line From Here? shows Tim as a luminary in his profession and as a luminous human being.
